This is a character that could very easily evolve into a real threat for new, younger generation of heroes. Of course, he's so young that he has a lot of room to evolve, perhaps getting his hands on all sorts of dangerous technology for new devices. He's never going to be a reformed character, and if the Rogues wind up not being a dangerous enough outfit for him, he might just strike out on his own. In 1990, James had a son named Axel, though had no initial contact with him. The Rogues might be slowly changing their MO away from being enemies of the Flash and becoming something closer to being allies, but Axel is clearly an exception. In the meantime, Axel is a young, very aggressively dangerous character. Goofs The message Megan left for Barry at the beginning of the episode is not the same as the one he listens to in the apartment. Using the Mark Hamill version of the character actually totally works, and as a result we have two really cool characters to build into out timeline. Mark Hamill reprised the role of James Jesse/The Trickster 24 years later in the modern Flash TV episode 'Tricksters (2015)'. The only problem was that he was a legacy villain and the old version of the Trickster was such a weirdo. There was nothing particularly wrong with Axel Walker as a new villain for Wally West, he even fits in really well in Clifford Devoe's New Rogues. Meanwhile, in the past the events leading up to Harrison becoming Reverse Flash are revealed. The clever innovation made on the CW series actually makes both versions of the Trickster more viable characters. Summary: A new terrorist calling himself Trickster launches an attack on Central City, and Joe and Barry reluctantly meet with the original Trickster, imprisoned for 20 years after a homicidal rampage. Axel could be the protégé of the classic villain, and they would be able to bring in a fan favorite actor. We’ve fought off arms dealers, crooked reporters, spiteful ranchers, amnesiac professors and. We’ve kept Gotham, Metropolis, Century City and so many other locations safe from the forces of darkness. Les: And so, the superhero roundtable has come to a close.
The current CW live-action Flash series has made a few small nods to the old series (like casting the original Flash, John Westley Shipp, as Barry's father Henry), and they made the brilliant choice to make Mark Hamill's original version of the Trickster cannon, so they could create their own version of Axel Walker as the modern villain. The FlashSeason 1, Episode 12, The TricksterOriginal airdate: Feb. Heck, Star Wars fans are most likely doing the same. In the meantime, the early 90's live action Flash series featured a pre-Joker Mark Hamill as a brightly colored, psychotic version of the Trickster, a performance that clearly informed his eventual role as everyone's favorite version of the Joker. People who watched the 90s version of The Flash are probably still recovering from that episode. It worked pretty well, but eventually they brought back the original character and this one was written off. The innovation of Axel was to take that concept and give it to a young teenage hooligan, taking all that chaotic energy and giving it a framework of youthful arrogance and disregard of safety that made it feel lethally dangerous. the Trickster was a pretty goofy classic villain, just a guy who used weird inventions as a sort of practical joker turned criminal. Other Rogues shown in the trailer include Weather Wizard (played by “Spartacus’s” Liam McIntyre), who will appear on the March 24 episode, Captain Cold ( Wentworth Miller) and his little sister Lisa Snart, aka Golden Glider (played by Peyton List).Axel Walker was created by DC juggernaut Geoff Johns in 2002 during his run on the Flash, part of his larger efforts to create new, varied versions of the Flash's classic rogues gallery.
